County approves $5,000 grant application to nominate 1918 Port Natchez Jail to National Register
Summary
The court approved a certified local government grant application seeking $5,000 to prepare a National Register nomination for the 1918 Port Natchez Jail, with a $5,000 local match from the historical commission's budget.
The Jefferson County Commissioners Court voted Jan. 6 to submit a certified local government grant application for fiscal year 2026 seeking $5,000 to support a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the 1918 Port Natchez Jail.
County staff noted the grant is a matching award and that the historical commission has budgeted the required $5,000 local match. Commissioners moved and seconded the item, and the court approved the application on voice vote.
If funded, the grant would support preparation of the National Register nomination forms and associated documentation for the Port Natchez Jail site.
